A new core structure-motivated strategy for the intramolecular aromatic spiroketalization process is used for the enantioselective synthesis of bisbenzannulated spiroketals, the bioactive core of rubromycins, with high enantioselectivities (up to 98% e.e.) via an organohalogenite-mediated asymmetric intramolecular aromatic spiroketalization.
